It would be necessary to see the trust to determine what it means.

The devil is in the details, and your friends may be mistaken. I've had many meetings in which a client thought that a provision giving a home to an alternate beneficiary if the named beneficiary dies first actually controls what happens to the property after it was distributed outright to a beneficiary. It's important to review the actual trust document to know for sure.
